An analysis technique which provides quick turnaround and allows not only quick examination across large areas but also SEM resolution is needed. Failure analysis of an RX (active) Short in a < 14 nm serpentine/comb test structure indicated a junction problem. A novel yet simple technique for mapping junction profiles based on contrasts observed in low energy e-beam SEM voltage contrast (SEM-VC) was evaluated on carefully delayered samples. The test samples were also characterized by scanning capacitance microscopy (SCM) to correlate with SEM-VC results. The SEM-VC in one case exactly predicted the well image. However, further investigation showed that distinct SEM-VC features on other similarly delayered samples had nothing to do with the underlying junction profiles. For this reason, OBIRCH (Optical Beam Induced Resistance CHange) was used to determine areas of high and low leakage for an SRAM-like test structure.","PeriodicalId":203046,"journal":{"name":"2017 40th International Convention on Information and Communication Technology, Electronics and Microelectronics (MIPRO)","volume":"60 23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129636472","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The importance of serious games in contemporary educational practice is increasing. Applying serious games in teaching, students facilitate the learning process, adopt new skills and abilities, show more interest in learning, are more focused and more active in a class, and better understand and apply lessons learned. The complexity of serious games requires large efforts for their development. For the development of serious games teachers mostly use commercial game engines. One of the important parts of game development is a selection of appropriate development tool. Due to the range of available tools the choice of platforms for serious games is a challenge, whose selection often has considerably different goals and technical requirements depending on context and usage. The aim of this paper is to propose criteria which should be considered before selecting a game engine for serious games and shows results of a comparison of evaluated most popular game engines. Some recommendations for teachers about choosing the most suitable game engines for serious games development are also presented.","PeriodicalId":203046,"journal":{"name":"2017 40th International Convention on Information and Communication Technology, Electronics and Microelectronics (MIPRO)","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126885369","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Whereas a number of studies has been devoted to analyse the well-being indicators or structures of software ecosystems and the importance of complementors and complements are acknowledged, there is lack of studies addressing how the complementors affect into the evolution of ecosystems. This conceptual analysis aims to open discussion on this topic by using the mobile application ecosystems—such as Google Play or Apple's iOS—as the case subject.

This is a novel design of a large network, in which security analysis must be performed. In the classic paradigm, the security analyzer is an entry device, connected serially with the rest of the topology. Obviously, this device may suffer from a high processing load. Therefore, it may create a bottleneck, when the arriving traffic is waiting for the security verification, before being forwarded to next devices in the network. In the proposed architecture, traffic is immediately forwarded towards all destinations, while the security analysis is carried out in parallel, resulting in offloading the entry security device. We show that the proposed solution reduces the bottleneck in the topology and increases the rate of the carried traffic, while ensuring the same, as in the classic approach, security level.","PeriodicalId":203046,"journal":{"name":"2017 40th International Convention on Information and Communication Technology, Electronics and Microelectronics (MIPRO)","volume":"11 8","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120888417","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It was found that the algorithm of “gridding with inverse distance to power equations” adopted herein for reconstructive imaging is capable of reproducing the results accurately as indicated by a good match with the TEM images of the same samples. Both the 3D and 2D images were analyzed by graphical means to determine the respective layers' thicknesses. The results were compared with the TEM images. Both the terahertz and TEM results were found to be in good agreement. Further, the imaging technique was also able to detect and quantify the size of small features of <1 nm present in the SiGe epi layer.
